Xiao Li, a student born after 1995, usually washes her hair every two days. But when the weather gets colder, she doesn’t want to wash it as often as before. She will buy a mist spray every winter, which allows her to wash her hair every seven days. “I would also like to have products（产品）that could save my time on some other things. I love the things that can make me lazier.” she said.

Many people of the post-1995 generation（95后）are interested in buying products like sweeping robots and window cleaners, which can cut down the time they spend on boring housework. At the same time, the take-out food service（服务）is also popular among people born after 1995, even though the products and services may cost half of their pocket money.

Young people spend money on such products and services because they want to save their free time after a busy and stressful day at work or school. Although young people feel comfortable to become “lazy”, it might also cause problems. If the young don’t need to go out or do chores, most of them may stay in the room and play on computers and phones all day. As a result, their communication with parents and friends will become less and less. Some experts（专家）believe being lazy is not terrible, but the saved time should be used to do meaningful things.

26. Xiao Li washes her hair every _______ days in winter.

 A. two B. five C. seven

27. Among the three people, the person who will probably buy lazy products might be _______.

 A. Lucy, a 5-ycar-old girl in Changsha

 B. Becky, a 24-year-old office lady in Beijing

 C. Freddie, a 50-year-old man in a relaxing village of Chongqing

28. Young people like to buy lazy products because _______.

 A. these products are cheap

 B. they think life is boring

 C. they want to enjoy more free time

29. The underlined word “mist spray” means “_______” in Chinese.

 A. 免洗喷雾 B. 沐浴露 C. 洗面奶

30. From the passage, we can know that _______.

 A. the life of young people is easy and relaxing

 B. lazy products will make young people have less communication with others

 C. most young people save time to do meaningful things

D

Nowadays, more and more people are likely to enjoy themselves on smartphones, no matter they are adults or teenagers. But charging（给……充电）the phones often brings lots of troubles to their lives.

Recently, a small device that can charge our phones anywhere has been invented（发明）, which may be a piece of good news for those who often play with mobile phones. This device is called HandEnergy.

HandEnergy is a creative apple-sized device that charge our phones anytime and anywhere. But what really makes it different from the others is that it only uses your own personal energy to do it.

As the power-banks and solar-power（太阳能）devices become popular in our lives, just a device that can charge our phone doesn’t sound very special. However, power-bank also need to be charged once a few days, and solar-power devices need the sun to store energy. HandEnergy just needs a hand. To get this little thing to produce energy, all you have to do is to hold your hand and shake your wrists（手腕）.

To use HandEnergy, users should start the device first and then shake their wrists. When they shake their wrists, the rotor（转子）inside the service will spin to create electricity（电）. To charge the smartphone, you just need a USB and this little device — HandEnergy.

HandEnergy can help you to produce endless energy. You can use it everywhere you want to go. What’s more, it’s friendly to the environment and helps you to exercise your wrists. Come and produce clean energy with the power of your own body!

31. Who will be interested in the passage?

 A. People who often have troubles.

 B. People who often work on computers.

 C. People who often play with mobile phones.

32. What’s the most special part of HandEnergy?

 A. It’s as small as an apple.

 B. It uses your own energy.

 C. It can be used anytime and anywhere.

33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

 A. The power-banks don't need to be charged.

 B. The solar-power devices could be used anytime.

 C. We should start the HandEnergy before we use it.

34. What does the underlined word “spin” in Paragraph 5 mean?

 A. 快速旋转 B. 移动 C. 产生摩擦

35. What’s the purpose（目的）of this passage?

 A. To show us a special device.

So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you get home later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Talk about your ideas with them and they may talk about theirs with you.

Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. When you become a parent, they may be able to help you learn how to get on with your children.
